Highway 27 bridge closing Friday, April 15

By Jeanne Sexton-Brown
The Army Corps of Engineers and the contractors are coming back to Lisbon to raise the dikes and prepare to close the Highway 27 bridge Friday, April 15.
During a teleconference Tuesday, April 12 the Army Corps of Engineers and the city of Lisbon learned of new predictions warranting raising the dikes and calling for the ND National Guard’s assistance with traffic control.

Water restrictions on in Lisbon

By Jeanne Sexton-Brown
Lisbon City Superintendent Randy Seelig is asking residents to restrict their water usage in Lisbon.
“It’s not so much their usage as it is what they are discharging down their sewers,” said Seelig. “We are pumping into the river and the lift station is running at capacity. The lagoons are full. We can still make water but the sewer is working pretty hard.”
Seelig suggested doing only one load of laundry at a time. If you do a load in the morning then wait until afternoon to do a second load.

NDDOT updated on flooded road conditions throughout the state

Interstate 29 remains closed from County Road 20 (Exit 69) to ND Highway 200A (Exit 100) until further notice due to water over the roadway. All travelers should plan on using detours today and over the next few days until official notice of changes in road conditions are announced. The Red River water level has peaked in the Fargo area, but is expected to remain high over the next several days. Fluctuating water levels make it difficult to predict when and where water will go over the roadway or recede and it may occur without prior notice. Motorists should drive with caution as flooding continues to affect area highways and should check road conditions before traveling due to rapidly changing conditions. For road information, call 511 from any type of phone or go to the website: http://www.dot.nd.gov.
